Cristiano Ronaldo storms past reporters after Portugal flop
World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo stormed past reporters on Monday after tasting defeat for the fourth consecutive time against Germany as Portugal lost 4-0 in their World Cup opener.

The 29-year-old Portuguese captain played the full 90 minutes of the Group G clash despite recent injuries, but he was powerless to prevent his side being over-run as Germany’s Thomas Mueller scored a hat-trick.

Muller is something special - Low
"He is a very unconventional player. Even as a coach you don't know which way he will go sometimes.

"Thomas played very well up front. He kept Pepe and [Bruno] Alves busy the whole time. With his running paths he ripped the defence apart for other players – and he scored three goals. That's Thomas Muller."

I expect to see Germany in the Round Of 16. The two top teams in each group will go into the next round.

For the US to have a chance, it must finish second in Group G or go home.

No wonder its in the Group Of Death.

Ghana is dominant.

US is being defensive.

This is not how you win a World Cup game.
